North Korean women who fled from their communist homeland appear on a South Korean TV show
in the hope of bringing the divided nations closer together.
Less than a decade ago, Han Seo-hee was a member of an elite, secret performance unit for Kim Jong-il,
the late leader of North Korea.
Now she is one of roughly a dozen North Korean women who fled their homeland and appear regularly on
a weekly show that hopes to bring the two nations closer together by showing what North Koreans are
really thinking about.
Now on My Way to Meet You, a hybrid talk and talent show, has grown increasingly popular over the last
few months thanks to its mix of humour and tears, mingling serious discussions such as how the women
escaped with lighter fare such as talk about which men make the best husbands.
The show features some the women singing and dancing too, whilst others perform comedy sketches,
including several who mimic North Korea's iconic, stern-faced female TV newsreader.
